An interesting related behavior has to do with the escape key. In other
programs (such as programming IDEs), if I get autocompletion hints I don't
want, I typically hit the escape key to get rid of them. So, having
reproduced the problem with Maria's help, my instinct was to hit Esc and
then Tab ... except Esc boots me out of the table. I can understand the
logic (sort of), but I wonder if there is a way to repurpose the escape key
to just stop hints without moving the cursor?
Sorry to join the party little bit late.
The non functional Esc is in your case table+preferebce of automatic menu in
text, right?
Does the Esc works correct when you have menu in math mode? (Vaguely I remember
fixing
this long time ago, but maybe the text part was missed.)

Pavel,
Yes, in math mode hitting the ESC key while a completion suggestion is
visible removes the suggestion (and the characters that triggered it)
but leaves the cursor in the correct position. For instance, if (in a
math inset) I type "xyz\ta" I get a suggested completion "xyz\tan". If I
hit ESC, the inset contents revert to "xyz" with the cursor after the
"z" and inside the inset.
